Photoshop, Pottery Class, and a Postal Scale…

17 09 2008

I’m late, yes i know. I meant to blog Monday night and didn’t, told myself Tuesday would be fine, didn’t get to it on Tuesday either. But it is now Wednesday…better late than never, right

Finally a weekend without a hurricane churning out in the Gulf, yaaaahoo! Saturday I taught a Photoshop Elements workshop. Basically the workshop was about working with adjustment layers to change colors. It was a small class but i think the smallness help them grasp the content. I taught a workshop a couple of months back that had 15 students, it was a bit hard to get to everyone when they were having difficulties understanding something. In October I am on schedule to teach Photoshop Elements as a once a week class and some workshops too. I am happy for the extra work.

Monday night was pottery class. As planned we coiled. I will admit not being a fan of coils. I loved coiled pottery, I just don’t like making coiled pots. So I went in early to roll out some coils for my demo. Past experience has taught me to preroll coils cause if i wait til class is in session my demo take forever. So once all the students arrived I demoed my coil pot. It went smoothy. Everyone managed to roll some coils and build a vessel. What more can a teacher want…

My postal scale finally came. I got it off of Ebay. I weighed a couple of packages of margarine to test it. Who’d a thought I’d find a maker of margarine that didn’t give me all the margarine they said I was suppose to get but yep the first box of margarine didn’t weigh a pound, I thought my new scale was off but after weighing a couple of other boxes that were in the fridge, it was the first brand of margarine that was wrong. So happy to have gotten a scale now i don’t have to run to the post office everytime i need to weigh a package before i list it in my etsy store. Now i need bigger boxes to package my bigger bowls in so i can get accurate estimates on shipping. So many things to think about when you sell online.
